Do you feel you are constantly running in circles, trying to understand and soothe your baby?

Are you afraid of spending your maternity leave exhausted and confused?

Here's the answer: Take a short and simple course, based on current research and years of experience, that will empower you to understand and relax your baby!
  • As new parents, it's common to feel overwhelmed trying to understand what your baby needs and how to soothe them. You might receive endless advice that either doesn't work or is hard to implement, leaving you feeling like you're failing at parenting.

  • Without guidance, you may find yourself stuck in a cycle of trying different methods that don’t suit you or your baby. Even if something works for a while, babies grow and change, so it might not work for long. This can make the newborn period feel far from the calm and magical experience you imagined.

  • The key is to return to basics. Instead of working against your baby, work with them. When you learn to understand your baby, everything changes. You can adjust your routine to fit their needs, which makes them much calmer.

  • By learning how your baby communicates their likes and dislikes, you can help them with gentle massage, focusing on face and tummy massage, which significantly improves feeding and sleeping patterns.

  • This mini course will help you understand and relax your baby from birth through gentle massage. After completing it, you'll feel empowered and confident in understanding and responding to your newborn's needs through positive touch.

  • Transition from feeling unsure and overwhelmed to being calm and confident in your parenting skills.

Founder

*Registered General Nurse (RGN)* *Registered Midwife (RM)* *Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI)* *Certified Infant Massage Teacher - Special Healthcare Needs Training* *International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC)* *Professionally Certified for Examination of Newborn* *Hypnobirthing Instructor* *Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist (OMFT)* *Self-Employed Community Midwife - Homebirth in Southeast Ireland* Born and raised in the beautiful and vibrant city of Lisbon, Portugal, I have always felt a deep calling to care for and connect with others. In 2006, I followed that passion by completing my Nursing Degree and beginning my career in one of Lisbon’s busiest hospitals. But life had even bigger plans for me—just a year later, love brought me to Ireland, where I started my own family and discovered my true vocation. Becoming a mother was a profound, life-changing experience. It opened my eyes to the joys and challenges of parenthood and ignited a deep passion for supporting other families on their journey. This led me to pursue a career in Midwifery and later become a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI). Through my local and online classes, I’ve had the privilege of guiding over 1,000 families in the beautiful practice of baby massage. As my journey continued, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), dedicating my work to providing compassionate and evidence-based breastfeeding support in hospitals, communities, and private practice. But beyond my qualifications, my greatest teachers have been my own four incredible children—my eldest son, my daughter, and my twin boys. Through them, I have learned the true meaning of patience, resilience, and empathy, and they have deepened my understanding of what new parents need most: gentle guidance, reassurance, and practical support that truly makes a difference. Today, I continue my midwifery practice, supporting families through home births, breastfeeding, and infant massage. I am also honoured to serve on the councils of Baby Massage Ireland (BMI) and the Association of Lactation Consultants of Ireland (ALCI), where I advocate for better support for parents nationwide. I wholeheartedly believe that every family deserves to feel confident, informed, and supported as they welcome their new baby. My mission is to share evidence-based knowledge and hands-on skills that empower parents, so they can embrace this special time with joy, confidence, and connection.
